The last time that Baron Davis played in the NBA was in May 2012 and it was then that he suffered what has so far been a career ending injury. But while Davis’ career has seemingly ended, he’s not yet ready to give up total hope that he can one day play in the NBA again.

According to NBA scribe Jared Zwerling, Davis is eyeing an NBA comeback in the near future and is working to get healthy enough to relive his dream of playing professional basketball.

"“I still want to see where I stand and chase that dream, especially the way I went out on that injury,” said Davis, who’s been chronicling his comeback trail in a mockumentary series on TNT. “I want to just get back to playing a little bit. I definitely want to get back on the court and conquer that.”"

While Davis, who was always a character, may be making light of the idea of comeback, he’s also very serious about playing again one day. The clock is ticking though and there’s no certainty that he will again reach the level he needs to be at to play in the NBA.

Still, Davis is trying and it would be great for fans everywhere if he were able to comeback and beat the odds.
